Using an Android device to update your Xbox Wireless Controller is not supported.

Troubleshooting

Make sure your Xbox Wireless Controller is Bluetooth-compatible

If you’re not sure, look at the plastic around the Xbox button. On Bluetooth-supported controllers, the plastic surrounding the Xbox button is part of the face of the controller. On controllers without Bluetooth, the plastic is part of the top, where the bumpers are. Your controller has the Bluetooth feature if it looks like the one on the bottom in this illustration.

Make sure your Android device, operating system, and game are supported

If the technology that makes this work is Bluetooth, does that mean you can pair an Xbox Wireless Controller with any Bluetooth-enabled device?

Right now, only select Samsung Galaxy devices are supported. In some cases, you may be able to pair and use the controller on other devices, but with limited functionality. We are actively exploring the supportability of the controller on additional devices via Bluetooth.

What games are supported?

This will work with all controller-compatible games on Samsung Gear VR. To see if your game is compatible with controllers, check the app description page on the Oculus Store.
